According to the duo, ever since they delved into engine repairs, they have become the envy of their classmates in school.
Their mother kicked against it
Speaking on how their parents reacted to their decision to learn the skill, they said their mother first kicked against it, insisting that it was a man's job.
However, their dad stepped in and advised her to allow them to learn the skill since hairdressing and some other skills are already getting saturated.

Lady who fixes POP transforms and slays
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Okeke Stephanie, a strong Nigerian lady from Delta state, fixes Plaster of Paris (POP) overhead ceiling for a living. Stephanie said she threaded the career path despite facing criticisms at her early beginnings for doing a "man's job".
According to Stephanie, her father and aunty were not happy with her choice of job. They asked her to do something else while noting that fixing the POP ceiling is not a woman's job. Stephanie continued learning the job till she became a professional.
According to her, the people who criticised her are now proud of her. Although the job makes her look untidy, Stephanie maintained that it doesn't stop her from looking good when necessary.
